Okay, lubus-lubusin na natin itong pag-shoot ng video na to.

Hindi na ako magpapalit ng damet kasi nga,

ang tagal kong hindi nag-vlog, no?

So, hello everybody! I'm back!

This is Demi, a.k.a. Anak ni Rizal.

So, napanood nyo na ba yung ano ko,

yung Oscar Speech Acceptance Award ko ng

Wake Up Dreamers Trophy?

So, yun, again, maraming salamat, guys.

Pero, this video is all about another topic, of course.

So, nilulubos ko lang yung pag-shoot.

Ang tagal kong hindi nag-vlog, na-miss ko.

Na-miss ko grabe yung pagsasalita in front of camera.

Because there is something that I want to say

bilang pambungad ng taon.

I know February na at isang buong January ako

missing in action almost.

Updates ko sa Wattpad and sa vlogs.

Pasensya naman kasi ako yung naging abala

to nourish my spiritual life.

So, yun nga, etong i-share ko sa inyo,

actually, medyo ano to,

it'll be kind of intriga.

Pero hindi ko intention na gumawa ng tea

na para pag-usapan ng lahat.

Kasi, I just want to share to everybody

that I finally decided kung saan home church ako magsistay.

So, I just wanted to shout out, you know,

my sisters in Christ.

Yung sa church sila, Pastor Jude, Pastor Janet.

Thank you, thank you po.

And sa leader ko, si Ate Jem Jem.

I mean, yeah, we're just really happy, you know.

And kita naman, di ba?

Gusto ko lang yung part na nung nag-decide ako

na, you know, to stay with them.

Yung magpahandel sa isang leader.

Gusto ko yung part na meron silang disclaimer to me

kapag naging bahagi ka na ng church.

Meron number one disclaimer

that I will disappoint you, they told me.

May sabihin, we're not perfect.

Nandito ka sa church full of imperfect people

serving the perfect Lord or God.

So, anong kinilama nun sa gusto kong sabihin sa inyo,

yung parating, as you can see sa title,

gusto ko siyang i-relate sa pagiging manunulat.

Kasi meron akong nabalitaan nung nakaraan

na meron parang nagpapalaganap ng epidemya

na kung saan ay may mga grupo

ng mga, I don't know, anonymous na tao

na para ligwaken yung mga manunulat

na hindi pasok sa standards.

You know, cancel culture.

Naisip ko, yung disclaimer na yun eh.

I think everybody should wear that disclaimer

na parang may nakapaskill dito sa noon natin

na disclaimer, I will disappoint you

to people, to everyone that we meet.

Especially yung mga tao na merong

online platforms or influence.

Kasi we're not perfect, you know?

And yun lang din yung medyo hindi maganda

sa society ngayon.

When somebody trips off

or yung may natisod lang na

parang lahat ng tao nakisugod, ganyan.

Without knowing na malamang

tao lang tayo nagkakabali, diba?

Pero wala akong tinutukoy dito na

specific kung sino.

Pero gusto kong i-share yun nga.

Writers, we're not perfect.

Huwag kayong matakot

na magsulat

or i-express yung sarili nyo

dahil may mga nakaabang.

Oo, totoo, maraming mga nakaabang dyan.

Especially, syempre, yung mga haters

or yung mga tao na,

may mga tao kasing ganun eh.

We should pity those kind of people

na parang aaligid-aligid

na nakaabang lang

na magkamali ka

at asa aatake sila.

Kasi yung mga ganun tao,

parang sobrang pangit

ng worldview nila.

So dapat, kaawaan natin sila

kasi nga, yun nga,

ganyan lang yung nila sa life.

Parang taga ano lang,

taga puna.

Pero, ayun nga,

this video is for writers out there

na natatakot

na i-express yung sarili.

Lalo na sa mga baguhan

dahil nakikita nila

na ganto'y ginagawa ng mga readers

sa mga sikat eh.

Parang,

hinahanapan nila ng butas.

Alam nyo,

partida,

as a writer ah,

hindi lang as a Christian.

Kasi yung mga Christiano nga,

sinasabi nila,

inaami nila na hindi sila perfect.

Paano po kaya yung mga mere writers,

like us,

na hindi talaga tayo perfect.

You know,

at some point sa pagsusulat natin,

meron tayong nasulat

na nakaka-offend.

Meron tayong masusulat na

hindi naman natin intention

na gano'n,

na makapanakit.

Pero makaka-offend

at makaka-offend tayo

ng ibang tao.

Ang problema kasi ngayon

sa community,

actually,

hindi lang to sa mga writers,

it's for everybody,

sa social media,

lalo na yung mga influencers.

Ang ginagawa kasi ng mga tao is,

nilalagi nila sa pedestal

yung hinahangaan nila.

Idolatry.

You know,

medyo nanatakal ko na to

sa iba kong vlog,

pero hindi ko siya hinighlight

as a whole video.

When we say idolatry,

yun yung parang,

hindi lang siya yung

nababasa natin to sa Bible eh.

Nasa 10 Commandments yan,

na do not make idols,

sabi ng Diyos.

And hindi lang pasok sa idolatry

yung mga ribulto,

o ibang Diyos-Diyosan.

Pag sinabing idolatry,

yun yung ina-idolize natin

o mas binibigyan natin

na importansya

yung mga ibang bagay

o ibang tao,

higit sa creator natin,

sa Diyos.

So marami yan,

pwede,

trabaho,

pera,

reputation,

madami eh.

Even your talent in writing

pwede maging idolatry.

Ako,

to be honest,

nung hindi pa ako naging Christian,

when I was still practicing the occult,

sobrang naging idol ko

sa sarili ko.

Yung skills ko sa pagsusulat,

yung talent ko sa pagsusulat.

To the point na

walang maibang mahalaga sakin,

kundi writing lang.

Mas mahal ko ang writing

kasa sa pagmamahal ko sa Diyos,

kasi hindi pa ako nakakilala that time.

So,

ayun lang.

Yung problem is,

people in the community,

in Wattpad,

readers,

idolize too much

yung isang mga,

yung mga writer,

yung mga sikat.

To the point na

ang nagiging effect niya sa writer

is

masyadong

nagiging,

nagkakaroon ng pride yung writer.

It's either

nagkakaroon ng pride

or fear.

Yung fear na,

hala, parang

nakatingin silang lahat sakin,

ganyan.

So,

natatakot na mag-express

kasi

kadakibot,

baka mapuna.

Isa naman,

pride na,

so powerful,

ganyan.

I have so many fans,

ganyan.

So,

both are extremes,

which is negative.

So,

sabi ko lang,

una,

sa mga readers,

huwag nyong masyadong ilagay

sa pedestal

yung mga idols nyong writer.

Hindi masamang

mamangha

or

hindi masamang

maging idol.

I mean,

yung mamangha,

parang,

ang galing yung masinusunod.

Hindi masama yun, guys.

Ang masama is,

masyado natin silang,

masyado silang tilitingala

to the point na

hindi na sila pwedeng

magkamali.

To the point na

pag nagkamali lang

yung iniidolo nyo

or to the point na

meron lang ibang opinion

yung iniidolo nyo

na hindi sa tingin nyo

o pasok sa inyo,

eh ililigwakin nyo na.

Medyo,

I'm kind of speaking

from a personal experience.

So,

sabi ko sa kanya,

cancel culture is,

I will not wish it

to happen to,

to my fellow writers

o sa ibang tao.

Kasi,

iba yung,

grobe.

Kasi,

you know,

people will,

you know,

promote

or,

you know,

persecute you

na hindi ko naman kilala

for a mere fact

na istolay na kita.

But anyway,

yun nga,

sa mga readers,

kalimutan nyo lang,

huwag nyong sambahin,

huwag nyong gawing diyos

yung mga writers

kasi nagkamali lang

kaming mga writers.

Hindi kami perfect.

So, disclaimer,

we're not perfect

and we will disappoint you.

Yun yung maganda disclaimer,

I will disappoint you

to everybody

that we meet.

You know?

Kasi,

iba-iba tayo ng paniniwala,

iba-iba tayo ng upbringing

and,

ang irony lang kasi,

we live in a democratic country

which is,

we're free

to express.

And,

ang irony is,

when we see someone

na hindi pasok

sa standards natin

ng belief,

we did,

dinidiktahan natin

kung ano yung,

ano yung dapat ganyan.

So,

tolerance.

But you know,

there are cases

na deserve

ma-call out

ng isang tao

dahil meron silang

pagkakamaling ginawa.

Pero kung i-appreciate

ito,

pero kung i-apply natin

yung pagiging Christian,

ganyan,

i-apply ko kasi,

I'm a Christian now.

Mahirap siyang

sabihin

na,

paano ba magre-react

si Jesus sa gano'n.

Anyway,

huwag na natin iitan.

Medyo malalim na yun.

Pero ang gusto ko lang

ituko yun.

Sa mga writers,

come on,

huwag nyo masyado

going perfect

yung sarili nyo.

Naging ano ko yan,

naging,

I tried to make

an image for myself

na hindi ako mahina,

na malakas ako

all the time,

that I'm a source of

inspiration for everybody

to the point

that I'm hiding

in a mask.

Sasabi ko sa inyo,

there will be always

na void dito

sa feelings mo

kapag,

kapag gusto mong

i-maintain

yung ganong reputation.

So, we have to be

honest to ourselves

that I'm not perfect,

that I will disappoint.

So,

we have to make

a choice,

yun.

Gusto mo bang

laging ma-please lang

yung mga tao?

Gusto mong mag-i-sunod-sunuran

sa whims

ng society?

Just for the sake

to maintain your status,

you know?

Because you feel like

nakasalalay sa kanila

yung ano mo,

yung career mo,

ganyan.

I just want to say na,

yun nga,

we're not perfect,

you know?

Magkakamali't

magkakamali tayo.

Kasi kung

mabubuhay lang tayo

sa takot,

may restrictions,

na mau-offend natin

ang lahat,

walang mangyayari

sa atin.

Hindi natin

ma-express fully

kung ano yung

gusto mong ma-express.

So, we will disappoint

everybody.

We will disappoint

each other.

So, ako,

ang pamantayan ko

is ganito, e.

Bilang Kristyano,

mas pipiliin ko bang

ma-disappoint

yung ibang tao

o ma-disappoint

ang Diyos ko.

So, pag dumating

sa point na yun,

syempre, mas

pipiliin kong

mag-ma-disappoint

yung Lord, e.

So, magalit nang

lahat

sa kung anumang,

you know,

kung anumang

binabahagi ko sa inyo ngayon,

huwag lang magalit

sa akin yung

Lord.

So, parang ganun lang din

yung, ano,

parameters ko,

you know,

in expressing now.

Kasi before,

nung hindi pa ako

nakakilala,

wala kong ganun parameters

kaya parang,

I'm so, ano, e,

parang ako nakakulong.

So, alam ko yung

ganun feeling,

yung parang

ka nagtatago,

yung parang,

parang sobrang

maingat mo kasi

safe.

Again,

sa mga readers,

hinahinay lang, guys.

Tao lang tayong lahat.

We're not perfect.

And we have to learn,

you know,

how to tolerate others,

to respect.

Hindi porket

nasa social media tayo

na nakakapagtago tayo

sa anonymous name,

sa pictures na,

you know,

sa accounts na

dami,

hindi

yun,

you're not,

you're not entitled

to be

a part of

that.

So,

you know,

you're not

entitled

to hurt

anyone

or anybody

just because you're hiding

from an

anonymous account.

The Lord

sees it all.

Nakikita yan

ng Panginoon.

So,

hindi sa tinatakot kayo,

but it's just

that's how it is.

So,

para doon

sa mga writers

na nagsasuffer

ng persecutions

or cancel culture,

mag

take time

kayo,

you know,

to step back

from that

idolatrous

community.

We're not

gods.

Hindi tayo mga

Diyos,

you know.

Kahit na

napakadami natin

followers kayo,

marami tumitingila

sa atin.

Actually,

the more nga

na mas mataas

yung parang

position natin,

the more na binababa

natin

yung sarili natin.

Kasi yung pride,

nasasabi nila na

pride muna

bago yung fall,

parang gano'n.

There's always

pride before the fall.

So,

the higher

na mas mataas ka,

mas masakit

yung nagapa.

So,

yun nga,

yun lang naman

ang gusto ko

iparating sa inyo.

Come on,

it's 2023.

Let's learn

to love each other.

Diba ka?

We're advocates.

So,

marami na nag-advocate

ng self-love

ngayon.

So,

ba't di natin

i-apply yung love

ngayon,

beyond self.

Love each other.

You know,

that's the greatest

command.

Then,

love each other.

My God,

nagiging malalim

na yung sinasabi ko.

Embrace

our imperfections.

You know,

our vulnerabilities

na

we cannot

please

everybody

kahit ano pang

gawin natin.

Meron tayong

ma-offend

at ma-offend.

We're not everybody's

cup of tea.

Hindi tayo magugustuhan.

Hindi tayo pwede magustuhan

ng lahat.

So,

be brave.

Be brave.

And it's much better

na meron tayong

pundasyon.

You know,

the greatest protector

of all

and the greatest

na sukatan

ng morality natin

in terms.

Kasi nga,

society today,

parang wala na eh.

Wala ng boundaries

ang moral codes natin

today eh.

Kaya,

kaya parang

parang

kahit ano na lang eh.

So,

kung ikaw wala kang depensa,

take ka lang ng take

sa

sinasabi ng iba't tao

online.

Wala.

Parang ka lang

patay na isda

sa Agos.

So,

take a stand.

We're not perfect.

It's okay

not to be perfect.

You know.

Yan lang naman.

Yan lang naman ano na lahat.

Don't be afraid.

And sa mga readers,

we love you all.

We appreciate you.

Sobrang thankful namin

sa inyo.

Pero,

don't idolize us

too much.

Huwag niyo kami

lagay sa pedestal

because we're humans too

and

we're all different.

You know.

Hindi tayo pare-parehas.

And ngayon pa lang,

sasabi ko na,

I will disappoint you.

We will disappoint you.

Bye bye!
